Battalion Drill at the Oakland Park.

Battalion Drill at the Oakland Park.
Pursuant to orders issued by Col. S. d.
Dickinson, of the Fourth Regiment, COM
panies E and assembled at the Oakland
Rink, Tuesday evening for battalion drill.
AS the Colonel was in Trenton, the COM
mand devolved upon Lieut.. Col. Wanser.
At s 80 the men were all on hand, when
the companies were formed. and the nu-
merous spectators were treated to the sight
of n first-class parade. After the dress pa
rade the companies were put through the
intricacies of the battalion drill, which was
wen done; in fact, the boys did not dare do
otherwise as the Gerardin Cadets we're in
the hall under the temporary command of
Colonel Parker, and it is needless to say
that they watched for any mistakes that
might occur. Captain Mason was placed
on the right Of the line ana Captain Dowd
on the left. Under the watehful eye of
the two commanders the battalion moved
like veterans, much to the delight of the
spectators. If the rest of the battalion
drills are as good as the first, the members
may, at the close of the season, cougratu-
late themselves upon having done good
seasons work. Among the audience we
noticed Capt. and Mrs. Bush. Mrs. Clark
johnson, Mrs Lieut.. Morris, Miss Farrier,
Mrs. William Herbert, wife of the fattest
of the fat men, who is q sister sof Lieut..
Russell, of Company F. Mrs. Estella At
kins, Miss Carrie Hopper, of Rochester N.
Y, the Misses Bowley, Mrs. Col. Moat-
gomery.
